Unmatched WordPress Performance

Unique Caching Options

WordPress instances hosted on SiteGround are amazingly fast. By default we enable static caching for all sites on our servers, which means that certain items, like your images for example, will load faster from the memory of the server. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved by using the higher levels of our SuperCacher service and connecting your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service through our SG Optimizer plugin (the option is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans).

icon_caching_wp_performance

Optimal PHP and HTTPS setup

You can easily set the optimal PHP version for your WordPress through our plugin and start using our HTTPS option properly with a click. Both these options ensure increase in the website loading speed.

icon_php_https

Application optimizations

Automatic image optimizations, lazy image loading, GZIP compression, CSS&HTML minifications and more are also included in our SG Optimizer plugin. By adding them too, we allow our users to have all-in-one solution, custom built for the SiteGround hosting environment. That allows you to get the best possible performance results from a single plugin, instead of using multiple optimization plugins.

Awesome Tools for WordPress Webmasters

Free CDN

Free let’s encrypt ssl

Having an SSL is more than just a best practice for websites, it’s an industry standard. SSL certificates protect the data transmitted through your site and make sure you meet the requirements of search engines that flag unsecured sites. That is why we believe any client of ours should have an SSL installed on their website. To help you do that, we partnered and financially supported since its founding the Let’s Encrypt project, which offers free SSL for anyone. We developed an in-house integration with Let’s Encrypt that allows us to automatically issue and renew their certificates for a hassle-free user experience. All new sites hosted on our platform get the free Standard SSL enabled. Clients may switch to a free Wildcard SSL at any time from their control panel.

PCI-Compliant Business Servers

Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards apply for sites that process online transactions. The level of compliance required depends on how your site processes credit card related information. We keep our GoGeek servers compliant with the basic set of PCI rules that are normally needed by merchants, who do not process or store credit card information themselves but use third party professional services for that.

Smart Caching & Performance Enhancements

When hosting on SiteGround platform, you can add our SG Optimizer plugin, designed to provide top performance for WordPress sites and fine-tuned to support WooCommerce.

Unique Caching Options

By default, we enable static caching for all sites on our servers, which means that certain items, like your images, will load faster from the memory of the server. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved by using the higher levels of our SuperCacher service. This connects your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans. For online stores specifically, where dynamic caching may be a problem for shopping cart behavior, we cleverly monitor whether users have items in their cart and exclude them from caching.

icon_performance

Application Optimizations

Automatic image optimizations, lazy image loading, GZIP compression, CSS & HTML minifications and more are also included in our SG Optimizer plugin. A special option to lazy-load WooCommerce products is available for faster loading of your product pages.
